Choppy NW windswell, weak WNW-NW energy and some background SW swell will be on tap for Wednesday. Sizewise we can expect surf in the knee high range for most areas and a few chest-head high+ sets at a few of the standout breaks.
More freaking wind on tap for Wednesday…WNW-NW winds 10-20 knots for the morning…with some stronger near 25-30 knot gusts setting up by the afternoon.

Choppy NW windswell, weak WNW-NW energy and some background SW swell will be on tap for Tuesday. Sizewise we can expect surf in the knee high range for most areas and a few waist-chest high+ sets at a few of the standout breaks.
A weak cold front moves through Monday night and helps set up some NW winds for Tuesday. Look for WNW-NW winds around 10-12 knots for the morning and then gusts hitting 15-25 knots by the afternoon.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Monday - 3/8/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
Not expecting much surf on Monday…there will be a bit of local NW windswell and some inconsistent SW energy on tap for the morning but it looks like onshore winds will get a jump on things pretty early. There may be a very short window right around dawn but I wouldn’t spend much time/gas/hope on finding waves…basically I would only check it if you live a few blocks away. Sizewise we can expect surf in the knee high range for most areas and a few waist high+ sets at a few of the standout breaks.
Winds will be semi-variable onshore for the morning...possibly as low as 5 knots but still mostly onshore. Look for the winds to increase out of the WNW-NW 10-15 knots by midmorning and then nearing the 20-knot range by late in the day. Basically a hacked up mess by the afternoon. Good times.

Orange County Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/6-3/7/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
On Saturday look for a mix of leftover WNW-NW swell, some new steep NW swell (295-300), and some SSW-SW energy (190-220). Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range while the standout combo breaks through the southern part of the county, where the SW energy shows best, will have some chest- high sets sneaking into the really exposed spots. Winds will be light through the morning but build out of the SW around 10-20 knots for late in the afternoon and bring in more rain for the evening.
Sunday the storm will still be lingering and it looks like winds will stay onshore for most of the morning. Expect about the same size as Saturday but with a little bit more W-NW windswell creeping into the well exposed spots. Expect variable onshore winds, mostly out of the S-SW, for early Sunday and then building NW winds 15-20+ knots for late in the afternoon.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Thursday 3/4/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
The WNW-NW swell will be on the way down on Thursday while a small SW pulse fills in through the background. Even though the surf will be smaller than mid-week it looks like we will still have plenty of waves.
Average winter spots will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some inconsistent head high sets. The standout NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, will have some shoulder-overhead surf with some inconsistent bigger sets sneaking through on the lower tides. Best shape will be at points/reefs but a few of the more NW shadowed/SW-exposed beaches may have a bit more of a combo feel to them, which could be fun if the other factors don’t screw it up.
Winds will be NW around 8-12 knots for the morning, which doesn’t totally blow out everything…I wouldn’t spend a lot of time looking for waves but it could be worth checking those little protected nuggets in the morning. NW winds 15-20 knots will move in through the afternoon.

Orange County Surf Forecast - for Friday - 2/26/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
Our mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300) and background, but still fun, SW swell (190-215) will hold/slowly drop on Friday. The WNW-NW swell will be a bit shadowed for Orange County but the SW swell will show fairly well through the South half of the county. Right now it looks like the biggest surf will continue to show around North County…in particular around North HB…but there should be at least rideable, if not fun, surf on tap for the other areas.
Sizewise we can expect surf in the waist-shoulder high range for most exposed spots…standout WNW-NW facing breaks and the excellent combo spots will be more in the shoulder-head high range with a few overhead sets mixing it up on the lower tides.
Winds will be light and variable through the morning. Look for building S-SE winds to fill in around midday and then continuing to strengthen by the afternoon/evening. It looks like the heavy winds and rain will push in late after midnight and hold through Saturday.

Orange County Surf Forecast – Friday – Building windswell lumps
The Swell
New WNW-NW windswell and some minor SW swell (200-220) will filter through the exposed spots on Friday. Look for increase in size as the tide drops and the windswell increases later in the day.
Waves
Not much surf on tap for the morning thanks to a nearly 6’ high tide that peaks during the dawn patrol…expect a few weak, basically shorebreak, lines to sneak through early…but without much in the way of rideable shape. Look for the mix of windswell and SW energy to build surf in the knee-waist high range at the average spots as the tide drops. Standout breaks may see some bigger sets but will likely blow out before many slip through.
Winds
Mostly light and variable onshore winds and a bunch of areas with minor texture for the morning. Look for some moderate W-WNW winds in the 10-15+ knot range for the afternoon.

Orange County Surf Forecast – Monday – A few fun ones as the swell mix fades.
The Swell
Our WNW-NW swell (285-300) and SW swell (200-220) will both be slowly fading throughout the day on Monday.
Waves
Average breaks will be in the waist-chest high range, with a couple of bigger waves on the lower tides in the morning. The standout NW facing spots, mostly through the select spots in North County, will be closer to shoulder-head high on sets. Both size and consistency will drop off as we head into the afternoon and the tide starts to swamp out the fading swell mix.
Sunday the NW’er (285-300) will peak through the morning while the SW swell holds. Average spots will push up into the waist-chest high range with some shoulder high sets. The better combo breaks will see some inconsistent head high sets. The stand NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, will see surf in the shoulder-head high range with overhead sets mixing in on the lower tides.
Winds
Clean conditions on tap for Monday. Mostly light and variable winds with just a few areas of minor texture for the morning. Look for some light/moderate W-WNW winds in the 10-12 knot range for the middle of the day and then lighter winds setting back up as we get close to sundown.

Orange County Surf Forecast – Weekend Waves – New NW swell peaks on Sunday
The Swell
On Saturday we will have a mix of playful NW swell (290-300) and some inconsistent, but fun, SW swell (200-220). A larger NW swell may show a few new lines at the top spots by the late afternoon…but most of the energy will arrive after dark.
Sunday the NW swell (285-300+) will peak and mix with the smaller SW energy (200-220). Look for the biggest surf through the morning and then a gradual slow down by the afternoon and into Monday.
Waves
Saturday morning the average spots are going to hold in the knee-waist high range with a few waist-high+ sets showing at the combo spots. Standout SW facing spots and excellent combo spots will have some waist-chest surf with some occasional chest-shoulder high sets. Keep an eye out for some new NW energy to start to filter into the best exposed spots by late in the afternoon.
Sunday the NW’er (285-300) will peak through the morning while the SW swell holds. Average spots will push up into the waist-chest high range with some shoulder high sets. The better combo breaks will see some inconsistent head high sets. The stand NW facing breaks, mostly through North County, will see surf in the shoulder-head high range with overhead sets mixing in on the lower tides.
Winds
Saturday may see a little funkiness as outer water winds try to spin up a bit of eddy…it shouldn’t be totally blown out or anything but there is the potential for some onshore texture through the dawn patrol that will strengthen through the afternoon.
Sunday looks clean with light/variable to light offshore winds through the morning. W-WSW winds 10-15 knots move in through the afternoon.
